Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Instant Talk, we believe your privacy is fundamental. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our random video and text chat service. We designed our platform to minimize data collection and give you control over your information.

  • Device information
  • Connection timestamps and duration
  • Messages and video streams (processed in real-time for moderation only, not stored)
